Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet....She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Have We not made the earth as a cradleand the mountains as pegs?...And We created you in pairs,and We appointed your sleep for a rest;and We appointed night for a garment,and We appointed day for a livelihood.And We have built above you seven strong ones,and We appointed a blazing lampand have sent down out of the rain-clouds water cascadingthat We may bring forth thereby grain and plants,and gardens luxuriant.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Paris is the city in which one loves to live. Sometimes I think this is because it is the only city in the world where you can ste...p out of a railway station--the Gare D'Orsay--and see, simultaneously, the chief enchantments: the Seine with its bridges and bookstalls, the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Tuileries Gardens, the Place de la Concorde, the beginning of the Champs Elysees--nearly everything except the Luxembourg Gardens and the Palais Royal.

The Caracal lies on a shelf in its den in the Zoological Gardens quietly licking its fur. I go up and stand near it. It makes a fa...ce at me. I come a little nearer, it makes a worse face and raises itself up on its haunches. I stand and look. It jumps down from its shelf and makes as if it intended "going for" me. I move back; the Caracal has exerted a moral influence over me which I have been unable to resist. Moral influence means persuading another that one can make that other more uncomfortable than that other can make oneself.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
